Bought this kit new when it was still in the hobby stores. Early '80's, (Yikes!) Opened it, checked it out, put it on the shelf, and there it sat for decades. At this point in time, I will never build it. Looking for a good home. A BMW enthusiast who will do it justice! Box and instructions are a bit tattered but are legible. Please check out the photos. Everything is there. Couple of parts are off the 'trees'. There is a break/crack in the windshield pillar but everything else is in excellent condition. Feel free to 'Message' me with questions.

None really Russell. Just happen to have a 1947 NM plate in my collection of decals. Sorry there isn't more to it.

Nice idea, but it's a little late. Not going to tear it apart now.

Engine installed in chassis. New for 1965 was the 232ci ohv straight six. The dual carb set-up was aftermarket. Fuel pump was actually located at front/right side of engine. Don't know why Jo-Han stuck it at the rear! (Oh well.)

Thank you John, After accumulating several Rambler American 'promos' and 'glue bomb' models, of different years, it's amazing how just about all the parts are interchangeable with each other. Other than the front grill when they changed from the round headlight bezels to the square.

There were 'dealers' for these cars. Crosley was a manufacturer of many consumer products. Powel Crosley was an inventor and entrepreneur who had his hand in many business ventures. You could purchase his automobiles from one of his appliance stores or a franchised shop. In fact, the cars width was base on the size of the 'double doors' on a typical store entrance, so if there was one in the store on display, it could be rolled out the front doors. My source, for the body, was R&R Resin. Parts came from a broken 1/24 Nash Metropolitan diecast, scratch building, and my parts collection. Info came from my automobile 'library' and internet.

Finished interior. Stock, except for steering wheel from SC/Rambler kit.

Thank Keith. Yes, mostly 'Stock' with a couple of small changes that could have been done in that era.

Thanks David, Tamiya PS-14 'Copper' and TS-7 'Racing White'.

OK, Glue Bombs aside. Moving on,........ Body painted, Tamiya 'Copper' with 'Racing White' roof. BMF and then Tamiya 'Pearl Clear', to seal it. Working on engine and interior now Thanks for looking in!

Sound's like someone needs to start a new 'Post'. 'Show us your Glue-Bombs!'

Great looking build. Super color combination!

Greetings all, While taking intermittent breaks from my '47 Crosley build, I decided to pull out all the Jo-Han/Rambler pieces and glue-bombs I have accumulated and try to put something together. This started as a '65 'promo' piece with a cracked rear window. Cut out the hood and trunk lids, cleaned off the 'flashing', and added the engine compartment panels from a Jo-Han 'Pro Street Rambler' glue-bomb. Also have the trunk interior for later. Got a couple of Rambler straight six, 232 engines. Thinking of building one with dual single barrel carbs for something different. Stay tuned!

Good looking and interesting concept car. Looks like something one of the 'Big Three' would have built and put out on the show circuit.

Very nice build Steve! Lots of 'engineering' going on there.
